California RIPA data (Los Angeles School Police Department)

Hello,

This email is in response to your California Public Records Act request received February 16, 2022, seeking the following:

* A spreadsheet containing all data reported to the California Department of Justice from 2018-21 pursuant to the Racial and Identity Profiling Act, including all columns of information/variables as well as all location and narrative columns reported under this program.

Your request is currently being reviewed and the appropriate departments have been contacted to determine if disclosable records relevant to your request exist.

As required under California Government Code section 6253, the District will make a determination within 10 days as to whether or not a request is seeking records that are publicly disclosable and, if so, to provide the estimated date that the records will be made available. There is no requirement for a public agency to actually supply the records within 10 days of receiving a request, unless the requested records are readily available. Still, the District prides itself on always providing all publicly disclosable records in as timely a manner as possible.

Towmika Young is the assigned paralegal on this matter. Should you have any questions, please contact the Office of the General Counsel at (213) 241-7600 and reference the following OGC Control number: #0064515.

In light of the COVID-19 outbreak, all attorneys and staff in the Office of the General Counsel are working remotely. There is also limited access to the Beaudry building. Hence, we are not able to receive mail in a timely manner.

Hello,

We received the above-referenced California Public Records Act (PRA) request. After conducting a thorough search of our records, we determined the following for each request:

A spreadsheet containing all data reported to the California Department of Justice from 2018-21 pursuant to the Racial and Identity Profiling Act, including all columns of information/variables as well as all location and narrative columns reported under this program.

Records responsive to this Request is attached and numbered LAUSD PRA - 1 to LAUSD PRA - 1137.

Any information withheld and/or redactions applied to these records were done so pursuant to Government Code section 6254-6255, Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act ("FERPA") (20 U.S.C. §1232g; 34 CFR Part 99) which protects the privacy of students, and California Government Code section 6255(a), which exempts the disclosure of records under the express provisions of this chapter or that on the facts of the particular case the public interest served by not disclosing the records outweighs the public interest served by disclosing the records.

With the production of these records, we are concluding this matter, and closing our file.

Thank you for contacting the Los Angeles Unified School District Public Records Act Unit.

Best,
